Hexagram Thirty-five Your symbol is Hexagram 35, showing a promotion. The image is of a feudal prince who has done a good job in governing the people, thus receiving horses and audience with the king. The first line, yin, shows one who desires a promotion, but frustrated because it does not come. Steadfast and undisturbed, this person will soon meet with good fortune. The second line, yin, shows the blessings of one's grandmother. Peace of mind will soon come to one who is advancing in the material sphere, but who still feels disturbance. The third line, yin, shows one who wins the approval of peers and associates. Acceptance relieves all regrets. The fourth line, yang, shows one who tries to make advancement like a burrowing rodent, greedy and mistrustful of others. Even great effort will not overcome the danger in this attitude. The fifth line, yin, shows that good fortune will come to one who is not attached to success or failure. The sixth line, yang, shows one who takes it upon himself or herself to control and punish others, just as a bull pushes others around with his horns. This is a dangerous position to take, and although some good may come of it, there will also be self-inflicted emotional pain. To the reader: In all of the hexagrams, at least one of the lines may predict bad results, but that does NOT mean you are destined to get that result. The meaning is that you need to study the action-reaction to see what could go wrong. From there, focus on the positive outcomes in other lines. Study how different attitudes lead to better outcomes. Your future is in your hands. Consult the I Ching for ideas that lead to clear thinking and positive mental attitude. The I Ching teaches you to flow with changes. Create positive change from the inside through conscious living. Take the time to reflect on your attitudes and ideas.
